DAQ's comprehensive status workbook (undated; retrieved the same day) gives the site as 255 Stamey Farm Road (35.777207, -80.975101), received 20 April 2026, status 'Waiting for information' after ten additional-information requests, the last on 19 August 2026; it gives no SIC code and classification 'Unknown', so the facility's data-centre use is identified only by the applicant's name.

- Precision scope
- Planar centroid of the union of the eight Iredell County tax parcels owned by Compass Datacenters CLT I LLC, as published in the NC OneMap statewide parcel service (327.6 geodesic acres in one contiguous part, about 1.1 by 1.7 km). The point lies inside the union. It locates the applicant's landholding at 255 Stamey Farm Road as a whole, not a building, a development area, a surveyed boundary or the extent of any works.
- Horizontal uncertainty
Not reported
The statewide parcel compilation publishes no positional accuracy for county parcel polygons; the point represents a 328-acre holding about 1.1 by 1.7 km, and no site plan or building position has been published.
- Geometry evidence
- abe44329
A locator places the site on the map. It is not a building footprint, a construction extent or a surveyed boundary unless the use scope is an official boundary, and even then it is a parcel or permit boundary.
